Cloud Networking Workshop

Understand the aspects of connecting securely to the cloud

Executive Overview

Many organizations have a move to cloud initiative or a desire to get out of the data center business. To achieve these goals, you need a foundational understanding of the networking constructs that will become the on-ramp to your cloud experience and a networking plan that provides an optimal platform to execute your cloud initiatives.

Objectives

Our Cloud Networking Workshop is a half-day discussion focused on helping you understand the aspects of connecting securely to the cloud and connectivity within the cloud. There are numerous ways to set up connections to the cloud depending on the provider you are using and the goals you are trying to achieve. High availability, dedicated bandwidth, redundancy, cost and security are some of the considerations in connecting to the cloud. All of these connectivity decisions will impact your design; they will also affect the cost and efficiency of the resulting product.
